About my Blog

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain

Weigh-In Wednesday

Well, wouldja look at that....

Despite the food carnage that was my weekend with the in-laws, I've managed to shed another 1.2 lbs! Yay!!

My goal for the next two weeks is 5 lbs because after that, I will have two weeks where it will be incredibly tough to maintain my weight, let alone continue losing, so I need to "go hard" for the next two weeks. I've even broken out two of my ancient workout videos (remember VHS tapes...?!) ~ The Crunch series' "Fat Burning Pilates" and "Pick Your Spot Pilates." I did two of the "spots" from the latter last night, and the full 40-minute fat-burner this morning. Whew.

My plan is that by the end of summer, I'll actually be able to keep up, complete the work-out with no breaks or cheats, AND never get confused about which direction she's moving. Man, I am so uncoordinated!! I figure I need to commit to something I already have before spending the money on new work-out videos, ie. The 30-Day Shred that everyone's raving wildly about these days. I have a bleak history with any form of exercise other than walking outdoors.

I'm finding though, with this group challenge, that I actually feel like doing an alternative to walking when that's impossible for whatever reason. I kind of enjoyed the extra bit of activity last night and this morning, even though my gut, butt, and thighs feel like jelly now!!

Go, PURPLE!!!

Go TAMMI! I have slacked off on the exercising because I was out of town last week. Funny thing is, my body is already sore from caring for my children and carrying the 20lb baby around- I can't imagine how sore I would be if I actually worked out!!!!

Congrats. Lisa

Way to go, Tammi!! You're doing a great job. I'm proud of you for dusting off the old VHS workout videos and getting down to business! I think you'll find the soreness is just more motivation!

Good luck this week!

Yea on the weight loss. And good for you for breaking out the old videos. I hear you about loving the outdoors I am the same way. But that said I am on day 21 of the shred and totally loving it.

I think up going to officially to The Shred Challenge, and post about it every day. Maybe I should start a new blog for that...
